As I sit here typing this, I’m recalling the events of 2005 and realise how fast it’s coming to an end already. It’s amazing how the whole year just flew by. Where did all those days go?
It’s been an amazing year and there are no regrets. Musically, it’s such a journey. I’ve learnt so much through the course of recording and preparing for the album. It all started with practice, getting all the songs down with the band, making sure the backbone for the songs were strong and tight. Then it was preparation for the recording sessions, scheduling time with the engineer and the band. Once all that was locked in, it was just nailing tracks after tracks. It was no doubt a lot of hard work and effort. It got tiring at times, but it was always fulfilling. The thing is I knew all of the above way before heading into the project.
The difficult part started when it comes to sourcing for designers, figuring out a theme for the design of the album sleeves and the overall look of the album. Sourcing for printers and duplicators were added issues.
But all in all, I can say that it is a great experience. It’s more difficult being an independent musician compared to a signed artist when it comes to things like these, sorting out logistics. However, I’m more equipped now and I understand the entire process better. All things happen for a reason, that’s for sure.
